site admins or mods,

I tried to upload a jpg file for this and it was 100x100 pixels (the maximum allowed, according to the CP), however I got the error u see in the attached image. the file size is only 7kb.

Am I missing something?

then the specs are obviously wrong. it says it chooses the lesser of 100X100 pixels and 97.7K in size. Where is Jon the site owner when you need him? :rolleyes:

EDIT
=================================
the photo has since uploaded. must have been a quirk.

We're talking avatar? For me it says 50x50:

Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 50 by 50 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

Hi Paul. I see a profile picture for him (unless I'm looking in the wrong place, I just clicked on his username).

And if you were closer I'd ask you to come take care of our garden. I have the proverbial black thumb. :p

Oh that is not my garden. :D I too kill anything that grows.:(

That is a pic of the hotel I stay in when I go scuba diving. They have a gardener. :D

I'm removing them anyway, as they were just some pics to test.

That's a shame. A profile picture makes it very easy to scroll through and find a specific person's contributions in a lengthy thread

I did. I do get confused easily ;)
Thanks. I'll soon recognise the new avatar. What is it meant to be?
